Join NAGC and instructor Martha Frey in this new reading group to explore the life of novelist, journalist, and newspaper publisher Waldemar Ager. We will be reading his historical novel Sons of the Old Country, a story about coming to western Wisconsin in the 1850’s. Explore the challenges faced by our immigrant ancestors and learn about the life of Waldemar Ager. Class will conclude with an optional trip to the Waldemar Ager historic house in Eau Claire. Each student will be sent a copy of Sons of the Old Country to read before the first class.
